No Plaits Today
Tuesday, September 18th, 2007 05:57 pmIt was quite a cold wind that was blowing across the fields when I walked out to get "sir" in this morning. It had been raining over night so DJ was a happy boy - he loves bad weather! He had obviously been busy as me was quite muddy - that boy could win a gold medal in rolling!
So, I decided that the Autumn was coming and i wouldn't need to plait him
However, by the time that we were ready (and Toni and Junior) it was nice and bright. Just along the road we met Ros and Rags returning form their regular walk ... and stopped and chatted!
Then on again. We were out for just over an hour and went through some woodland - with a short, sharp canter along part of the track. so, by the time we got back DJ was quite warm.
Toni decided to give Junior a bath - and also brought Smudge in from the field for the same reason.
DJ was lucky that I had to get going - so he got sponged down and fed, before putting him back in his field.
So it was great - a lovely day - and great to be able to tell Toni that I had got my ticket!!!!

Date: 2007-09-18 11:26 pm (UTC)Why is it that grey horses seem to like rolling in the mud more than any other colour of horse ? my old boy used to roll in the muddiest places he could find, and the field where he was had the typical mendip red mud, so he used to end up looking like one of those apricot poodles (as he had a curly coat due to Cushings)

I don't know - DJ just loves the rain as well - I put that down to his Irish ancestry ... either that or he was born (literally) into the middle of a very muddy field ... well at least he had a soft landing!!
See you in Cardiff .... YAH!!
